Scar tissue doesn’t just affect structure. It affects communication.

After surgery, birth, or injury, the body sometimes treats a scar like a protected zone. Signals don’t travel as clearly. The area can stay guarded, sensitive, or disconnected long after it looks healed.

Dolphin microcurrent is one of the tools I use to support scars at a nervous system level. It’s gentle, subtle, and focused on improving how tissue and nerves communicate rather than trying to “break” anything up.

For many people, this makes other work feel easier and less reactive, especially when a scar has been part of ongoing pelvic or abdominal symptoms.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and have a scar that never quite felt right, comment HEAL and we can talk through whether this approach makes sense for you.

I work with a lot of women who train consistently and assume pelvic floor symptoms mean they’re weak or “doing something wrong.”

In reality, many athletic bodies are very capable. The issue is often coordination, timing, and how the pelvic floor responds under load, fatigue, or stress. That’s why simply strengthening doesn’t always help and sometimes makes symptoms worse.

My approach as an occupational therapist looks beyond isolated muscles. I care about how your pelvic floor functions during the things you actually do. Training, lifting, running, parenting, working, and recovering.

If you’re active and dealing with pelvic symptoms that don’t quite make sense, it’s worth taking a closer look at how your system is working as a whole.

This message says a lot about how the body actually changes when care lands at the right level.

Sometimes progress isn’t about dramatic breakthroughs. It’s about fewer setbacks. More steadiness. The feeling that your system isn’t constantly bracing for the next flare.

When treatment supports the nervous system, the effects often carry forward into daily life. Workdays feel more manageable. Symptoms don’t spike as quickly. The body holds onto the change instead of losing it overnight.

That kind of consistency matters, especially when you’ve been living with pain or instability for a long time.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and looking for care that helps your body stay regulated beyond the session itself, comment HEAL and we can talk.

Endometriosis doesn’t just cause pain. Over time, it shapes how the pelvic floor functions.

When the body lives with repeated pain signals, the pelvic floor often adapts by staying guarded. That pattern can continue even when inflammation is lower, or symptoms shift, which is why some people feel stuck or confused by ongoing discomfort.

From a pelvic health perspective, this isn’t about pushing strength or doing more exercises. It’s about understanding how the muscles and nervous system have been working together for years and helping them find a safer, more flexible pattern again.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and dealing with endometriosis-related pelvic symptoms that never quite made sense, comment HEAL, and we can talk through what support might look like for you.

One thing I see often with chronic pain is that the body stays tense even when someone is lying down, trying to relax, or doing all the “right” things.

That’s not a willpower issue.
It’s a nervous system pattern.

Parasympathetic stimulation using tACS is one way I help interrupt that loop. Instead of asking the body to calm itself, we give it a signal that supports slowing down. For many people, this is when muscles finally soften and pain feels less sharp or urgent.

This kind of support can be especially helpful when pelvic pain, chronic tension, or long-standing symptoms haven’t responded well to exercise alone.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and want to learn whether this could be helpful for you, comment HEAL and we can talk it through.

This is why I share messages like this.

A lot of women are given explanations for their symptoms, but not care that actually addresses what’s happening in the body. When treatment finally matches the source of the problem, things can change in a very real way.

This is what individualized pelvic health care looks like.
Listening first. Assessing thoroughly. Treating what’s actually contributing to the symptoms.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and feel like your symptoms have never fully made sense or never fully improved, you’re not alone.

One of the most common reactions I hear after using the Rest and Restore Protocol is surprise. Not because something dramatic happened, but because things finally felt quieter inside.

RRP gives the nervous system a break from being “on” all the time. For people dealing with pain, tension, poor sleep, or feeling constantly wound up, that shift can be meaningful.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s going on in your body to be curious about nervous system support. Sometimes starting with regulation is what helps everything else fall into place.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and want to learn more, comment RRP and we can talk.

After pregnancy, a lot of women are told to “strengthen their core” without anyone explaining what that actually means.

The transverse abdominis is the deepest abdominal muscle. It stretches significantly during pregnancy, and for many postpartum bodies, it doesn’t automatically reconnect the way it used to.

In this video, we’re using biofeedback to help a postpartum mom see and feel that connection again.
The blue signal represents pelvic floor muscle activation.
The green signal represents the transverse abdominis.

What we’re really working on here is coordination. When the pelvic floor and deep core learn to work together again, it can change how the body manages pressure, supports the spine, and feels during daily movement.

This is often a missing piece in postpartum rehab, especially when symptoms linger even after being “cleared” to exercise.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and want to understand what your core and pelvic floor are actually doing postpartum, comment CORE.

The Safe and Sound Protocol is one of the tools I use when the nervous system feels stuck in a high-alert state.

It’s a listening-based therapy developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, designed to support regulation and a sense of safety in the body. When the nervous system settles, people often notice changes that go beyond mood, including how their body responds to stress, pain, and physical therapy.

In pelvic health work, this can be especially important. Chronic tension, pain, and sensitivity are often closely tied to how the nervous system is responding, not just what the muscles are doing.

SSP can be used alongside pelvic floor therapy, biofeedback, and other treatments to help the body feel more receptive and less guarded.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and curious whether the Safe and Sound Protocol could be a helpful part of your care, comment HEAL.

One of the most frustrating experiences for women with pelvic pain or endometriosis is being told that tests look normal.

Here are six real reasons pelvic pain often doesn’t show up clearly on imaging:

Muscle guarding and overactivity
Tight or constantly braced pelvic floor muscles don’t appear on scans, but they can drive significant pain.

Nervous system sensitization
When pain has been present for a long time, the nervous system can amplify signals even without visible tissue damage.

Scar tissue and adhesions
Scars don’t always show clearly on imaging, especially when they affect movement and glide between tissues.

Inflammation patterns that fluctuate
Pain related to hormonal cycles or inflammation can change day to day and may not be present at the time of imaging.

Altered tissue mobility
Restricted movement between layers of tissue can create pain with pressure, movement, or pe*******on without structural abnormalities.

Pressure and load sensitivity
Pelvic pain often relates to how the body handles pressure during sitting, standing, s3x, bowel movements, or exercise — something scans don’t measure.

Pain doesn’t need visible proof to be real. It needs context, pattern recognition, and a whole-body understanding of how tissues and the nervous system are responding.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and living with pelvic or endometriosis-related pain that hasn’t been fully explained, comment HEAL.

Bladder symptoms have a way of sneaking in and then slowly becoming part of daily life.

Most women don’t panic when they notice them. They adjust. They plan. They brace. They tell themselves it’s probably fine or something to deal with later.

What I see clinically is that these patterns are usually less about strength and more about how the pelvic floor coordinates with breathing, movement, stress, and pressure throughout the day.

The earlier these patterns are understood, the easier they tend to be to work with. Waiting doesn’t make them dangerous, but it often makes them louder.

If you’re in the Encinitas or San Diego area and want to talk through what your bladder symptoms might be telling us, comment HEAL.
